OCPD for Employers

Business Fair

Our fair is designed to give employers a faster, smarter, and more strategic way to connect with top business talent, especially our GenAI‑fluent students who are already working at the cutting edge of AI literacy, critical thinking, and real‑world business application.

Our students aren’t just prepared, they’re eager to contribute, innovate, and grow with companies like yours.

Why Join Us 

• Pre‑Vetted Talent: Skip the guessing game. Every student on our Verified Ready List has passed a live, timed AI Literacy & Critical Thinking challenge. You’ll receive this exclusive list
• 48 hours before the fair, giving you a head start on identifying your top candidates.
• Instant Pipeline: Meet a standout student at 10:00 AM, interview them at 1:00 PM, and walk out with your next Spring or Summer intern secured.
• Zero Delay: We offer private, on‑site interview spaces so your team can move quickly when you find the right match.
• Unmatched Value: We’ve lowered our employer registration fee to a flat $299 less than the cost of a single generic LinkedIn posting. That includes:
  • Full‑day access to hundreds of business majors
  • Pre‑vetted resume books
  • Complimentary breakfast and lunch
  • Dedicated employer parking
  • A seamless check‑in experience managed entirely by our staff
• Faculty‑Integrated Attendance: Because our faculty and advisors are embedding this fair into the first week of classes, you’ll meet top‑performing students who are personally encouraged to attend—not just those who happen to visit the career center.
• Gold Lanyards = Top Talent: Our pre‑vetted, AI‑literate students will be wearing Gold Lanyards, making it effortless for your team to spot the strongest critical thinkers in the room.

Space is limited, and our Verified Ready List is already filling up. Don’t let your competitors lock down the top 10% of our business talent before you even see a resume.

Mocktails and Mingle:

Every spring we bring business majors and recruiters together for a relaxed networking social hour that helps students build confidence and make meaningful professional connections. For many students this is their first time attending a networking event and early exposure to professional conversations has been shown to increase internship placement rates by as much as 27 percent while strengthening long term career outcomes. Employers consistently report that this environment allows them to form more authentic connections and identify stronger cultural fits compared to a traditional career fair.

Find your next intern or your next employer at our signature Hiring Mocktail Hour. This free event includes small bites and a fun mocktail bar that encourages natural conversation and genuine relationship building.

Spring 2027 schedule coming soon.
